Afrofest is an amazing summer festival. that I have attended since its beginnings. Limiting it to 1 day seems discriminatory.

Afro fest is one of the many events that make Toronto a great city. This is a move in the wrong direction. Make a U-Turn and let Torontonians celebrate the rich contribution of African culture to the city.

This has been one of my favourite summer festivals in Toronto for years. This restriction makes no sense.

This is clear example of discrimination against a group of people. This event is one of a kind in North America and Toronto would be hurting it self & its image to carry on through with their decision

Keep Afro fest to two days. It's an important festival to our community and politicians should not be able to shut our contributions down.

Toronto is a diverse and vibrant city that supports a multitude of people. Please support Afrofest as it brings vibrancy to the city by allowing it to continue to grow. Noise is part of being in a city.

This contrary to building a welcoming city. It is contrary to building a music city. It is contrary to building a city where we all feel we belong and are valued. This cannot be the Toronto of the future.

Extremely discriminatory!!! How come Bestival 2016 is allowed to move from Toronto Islands to Woodbine Park for a 2 day line up in June for its 2nd year - but Afrofest, a community event that has been in existence for YEARS, is being reduced to 1 day? Come on City of Toronto...

I live at Queen and Coxwell - love this festival and have no complaints with the 'noise'! Let's celebrate our cultural festivals instead of limiting their successes.
